Someone asked me if I ran a film what movies would as use as examples of what not to do. I said female Ghostbusters is the perfect example of placing agenda ahead of the story as well as ignoring what the audience actually wants. I know Last Jedi would be an example but there seems to be so many things wrong. What is it an example of? Any other movies you can think of?

Doctor Strange 2 is In the Multiverse of Madness so you have the correct film in mind. It does have a lot of "you might not notice it, but your brain did" type of stupidity that you might detect subtly but cannot really describe.
If there is one consistent issue throughout, it's characters being dumb and inconsistent. It affects action scenes (like Strange and Wong trying to pull that giant tentacle monster off a building using only their own body weight) and character moments (Chavez says the first rule of multiverse travel is not to assume anything then immediately assumes food is free. Strange does not acknowledge her breaking her own rules).
Strange's character arc is also undone. MoM has him back to being a control freak (the whole "he must hold the knife" thing), but in Infinity War, he knowingly allowed himself to get snapped and left the fate of the universe in the hands of the surviving Avengers. He already demonstrated a willingness to let go of control.
